Associated Press Dispotches to the HERALD.
CINCINNATI, April 4.-The weather l.
pleasant and the election is proceeding
quietly with full vote. Republicans
claim an easy victory, inasmuch ~ the
Democrats exhibit great indifference to
the fate of their ticket. In the strongest
Democratic wards the Labor men con,
strue the apathy of the Democrats To-
sympathy with their party and are Pre-
dieting the election of their ticket.
Many manufacturing establishments
have closed to enable men to vote. The
Labor ticket is reported to be receivine
many votes.
The most interesting and surprising
municipal election for years was that d
to-day. There are l65 precincts in the
city. OF these thirty.four have been
heard from and they show q Republioan
loss of 476 on the vote for Comptroller.
a year ago. when the Republican major
ity was 62S0. Assuming that the ssms
rate loss be maintained 10 precincts yet
to hear from, the Republican candidate
for mayor will be elected by plurality
of about 1000, but, as before
stated, it is unsafe to make
an estimate, as the vote is so irregular,
The relative aggregate vote of the first
twenty-four precincts is as follows:
Smith, Republican, 2573; Watson,
Democrat, 1865; Stevenson. Labor, 1897.
LABOR NEARLY WINS.
The Board of Elections has Just com-
pleted the footing on the head of the
ticket, which shows w. Il. Stevenson,
labor candidate for Mayor, elected by
ten votes. The fgnres are Stevenson,
7,4l4; Smith (kepublican), l7,4O4;
Watson (Democrat), IL, 547.
They Lave returns from all the pre-
cincis in the city. OF course with such
a result the official count will have to be
awaited for real verdict. An inspec-
tion OF the vote indicates that the re-
mainder of the ticket will be Republican,
except the Judge of the police court.
The Labor men are shouting at their
headquarters and in the streets in honor
of their victory. The Board of Election
has revised its com mputation and finds .
mistake, which shows that Smith. Re-
publican, is elected by over 600 majority.
